Sounds good, Just an FYI. The blogs written before 2017 were done by my SIL. I took over after that because the chickens are more my thing.


We're doing a bit of reading compreshesion... so he reads, and then tells me a story about what he read. He loves the chickie stories ( he IS The PIC after all :D ) so it should be fun!
 
So I’ve mentioned my gimpy girl before. I started a thread on her a while back. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/hen-wont-use-one-leg.1195948/
When she molted she was having a hard time so I let her be. She now hops. I’m going to update her thread but thought I’d ask you guys too.

Her leg skin close to her scales and more towards the inside is swollen and fluid filled. Her skin is thick and flakey in some areas.
View attachment 1264996 I wanted to check out the fluid...it’s honey colored. No smell. Not a lot came out and didn’t seem to make a big difference.

Thoughts? What the tater is going on!?!

Check your thread, if you haven't yet. ;) Maybe osteomyelitis?

Looks like she may have an infection in the leg. I would post and tag WVduckchick and casportpony.

Thanks!
